95 points Wine & Spirits: "Inky and dark when first poured, Chris Camarda’s top selection in 2013 feels massive at first pass; it’s mostly Cabernet drawn from the old-vine blocks at Champoux. With air its flavors turn a corner, as much savory as dark-fruited, leaning toward crushed pink peppercorn and ground sumac, with textures that seem to reflect that vine age in the finesse of their suave tannins. Those tannins carry a dusty minerality that is saturating but not heavy in the least. Cellar, then serve with beef tenderloin. " (12/2016) 94 points John...Read More »

Woodinville is a Washington State Whiskey Company established in 2010. They heard the message loud and clear about what people wanted in craft whiskey: no short cuts. They do everything grain to glass. They work with a farmer in eastern Washington for all of their rye and corn. They age everything in full sized 53 gallon barrels. And most importantly...they waited. Patiently biding their time, they opted to only release whiskey in Washington State so they slowly build their stocks and bring a truly quality product to market in the 5-6 year old range. Rig...Read More »

The exceptional Westland distillery is easily considered one of the United States top Single Malt distilleries. That's something that's hard to believe considering they only opened their doors in 2010 just 8 short years ago. But what Westland did right was commit. They committed to making the very best American Single Malt that they possibly could. They took what Scotland had perfected centuries earlier and instead of upending the tradition like so many craft distillers, they improved and adapted it to make this uniquely Scottish whisky distinctly Pacifi...Read More »

90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese, the 2016 Vino Cabernet / Sangiovese offers a deep ruby/plum color as well spicy, peppery, perfumed notes of black cherries, blueberries incense, and exotic spices. Possessing much more intensity of flavor than you could want for the price tag, with medium to full-bodied richness and excellent purity, it's a no-brainer, high quality red to drink over the coming 3-4 years. It's a smoking value." (04/2018) K&L Notes: Winery Notes: "The dark ruby color just shimmers with energy. ...Read More »

90 points Vinous: "Captivating nose combines pineapple, grapefruit, herbs and a whiff of minerals. Juicy and brisk but not thin, conveying a hint of sweetness (but the residual sugar here is actually less than one gram per liter, according to founder and winemaker Casey McClellan) to its bright flavors of lime, honeysuckle, minerals and wild herbs complicated by a note of wet slate. This wine, which McClellan envisions as a Bordeaux style, remains on its lees until shortly before the bottling. Incidentally, 2016 is the first vintage to include some Sauvi...Read More »

93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The largest production cuvée, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon was vinified in tank before being pressed to barrel where it went through malo. Aged 13 months in barrels, its vibrant purple color is followed by a terrific bouquet of blueberries, cassis, scorched earth, and spice. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and beautifully balanced, this is the real deal, ladies and gentlemen, and it's a no-brainer purchase. Just pretend you paid three times the price." (04/2018) 92 points James Suckling: "The is a firm and linear red with currants, blac...Read More »

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is a 100% rye whiskey made with Washington state grain. Look for a tawny hue and distinctly fruity scent layered with a wash of vanilla. The bracing, lean palate shows plenty of vanilla and caramel up front plus a hint of espresso, sparked with fiery cayenne and hot cinnamon on the drying fade. A splash of water coaxes out a pleasing nuttiness and tones down the spicy heat. (KN)" (11/2018) K&L Notes: Woodinville is a Washington State whiskey company established in 2010. They heard the message loud and clear about what p...Read More »

96 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Merlot, 9% Cabernet Franc, the sensational 2014 Palengat Vineyard is loaded with notions of chocolate covered plums, licorice, roasted herbs, and graphite/lead pencil shavings. Up there with the of the top vintages of the cuvee, this full-bodied, rounded and hedonistic 2014 shines in the vintage, has no hard edges, gorgeous purity, and plenty of ripe, sweet tannin. It’s a serious mouthful of a Cabernet and will drink nicely for 10-15 years. (JD)" (06/2017) 94 points Vinous...Read More »

100 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Another off the charts effort is the 2015 Syrah Cattle King Upland Vineyard, which is also saturated purple/black in color. Possessing a more backward, yet insanely pure bouquet of crème de cassis, black fruits, smoked earth, graphite, and violets, it’s beautifully concentrated, has no hard edges, thrilling purity, and a gorgeous, layered, awesome, multi-dimensional style. It needs short-term cellaring but is a monumental wine from Washington." (04/2018) 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2015 Syrah Cattle King is de...Read More »

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "*Editors' Choice* .An arresting blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Merlot (27%) and Cabernet Franc, it displays purity with its herb, bay leaf, earth and cherry flavors. The exquisite balance is where this wine really shines, winning over on its elegance, detail and length rather than power. It shows first-class fruit and exceptional winemaking.

Wine Enthusiast: "This wine was cofermented with Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Muscat. The aromas are compelling, with notes of freshly cut apple, petroleum jelly, honeysuckle, peach and pear. There's a beautiful sense of lightness, texture and freshness to the fruit flavors that linger on the finish. The balance is exquisite. *Best Buy* (SS)" (10/2018) K&L Notes: Winemaker's Notes: "In this Pinot Grigio the Ancient Lakes AVA dominates and sets the tone for the blend. Riesling from the legendary Art Denhoed vineyard lifts aromas and brings a racy quali...Read More »

96 points James Suckling: "This is the first year made of this wine with wonderful blackberries, rose leaves and blueberries. Wildly floral. Stems. Full body and round and fine tannins. Juicy and intense. Shows an eccentric style. All large oak. A new nature and personality. Drink now or hold." (05/2018) 91 points Wine & Spirits: "The fruit for this wine comes from “The Burn,” a portion of the Columbia Valley near the river between the Gorge and the Horse Heaven Hills. It’s cooler than Horse Heaven, which may account for the thoroughly refreshing everg...Read More »

97 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2015 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon that was brought up in 90% new French oak barrels. Its inky purple color is followed by a seamless, pure, impeccable balanced Cabernet that has loads of currants, scorched earth, graphite, and espresso aromas and flavors. Deep, rich, gorgeously pure and polished, with building tannin, it's a heavenly Cabernet Sauvignon that has everything you could want. It’s the finest vintage to date of this cuvée and is capable of lasting for 20-25 years." (04/2018) 96 points Robe...Read More »

From the producer: "The Klickitat Pinot Gris vines are located on the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains, in Klickitat County, Washington, pushing the boundaries of extreme cool climate viticulture. The vineyard property is composed of 100% red basalt soil composition resulting in low yielding vines that produce intense flavors and layers of complexity. The Klickitat River runs through the property, reflecting sunlight and moderating the temperature - cooling warm days and warming cold nights. The climate at our vineyard is marginal at best.

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "A truly lovely and engaging nose bears scents of cherries, raspberries and exotic spices. It seems Italian in style, but with New World ripeness and power. A fine example of a domestic Super Tuscan-style wine. *Editors' Choice* (PG)" (09/2012) 91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "I confess that my heart sinks a bit whenever I read the name of this grape variety on an American wine label because I've tasted one disappointment after another, but the Leonetti 2009 Sangiovese transported me smilingly straight to Tuscany bef...Read More »

Love the fruit and density. Serious white. Drink or hold." (06/2018) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2016 Sauvignon Blanc Sunset Vineyard reveals notes of lemon oil and delicate botanicals framed by light reduction that would be very much at home in the eastern Loire Valley. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, pure and racy, with a textural ...Read More »

97 points James Suckling: "The blackcurrant and blueberry aromas are impressive with hints of mint. Full-bodied, yet tight and composed with plenty of tight, ripe tannins and a flavorful finish. So beautiful to taste now but will pay big dividends in four or five years. Try in 2022." (05/2017) 96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The classic 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon checks in as a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, and 3% Cabernet Franc that spent 22 months in new, once-used and neutral oak.

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2015 Syrah Motor City Kitty Old Field Boushey Vineyard comes all from this site (planted by Brennon and Dick Boushey in 2007) in 2015 and will come from this site going forward. The site is 8 acres consisting of Phelps, 383, 174 clones that are all co-fermented in concrete uprights. It offers crazy notes of smoke tobacco, charcoal, ripe black cherries, currants, and pepper. With medium to full-bodied richness, a lively, pure, pretty style on the palate, and fine tannin, it should put on weight with 2-3 years of bottle age and ...Read More »

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "Coming from a warm vintage in a hot region, this wine brings light aromas of mineral and red and black fruit along with a barrel-spice top note. The black-cherry flavors are lush, full and palate coating, supported by firm tannins. It's high on the delicious scale." (02/2017) 91 points Wine & Spirits: "A faint, intriguing scent of mint and violets leads in this compelling red, a wine drawn from purchased fruit as the Canvasback team waits for its own vineyards to mature. With air, it takes on a dark fruit tone of black plums...Read More »

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Artist Series checks in as a blend of 92% Cab Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot that spent 22 months in 60% new French oak. Like all the wines here, it's inky colored. Exhibiting a great bouquet of fresh blueberries, leafy herbs, violets, and wet stone, with subtle background oak, this beauty is full-bodied, wonderfully pure, layered, and textured. It's one of the standouts in the lineup." (04/2018) 93 points James Suckling: "Tar and dark berry aromas with hints of dark chocolate. Full...Read More »

90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The medium gold/salmon colored 2017 ViNO Sangiovese Rosé offers a vibrant, strawberry and cherry-scented bouquet as well as a rounded, supple, nicely textured style. With both racy acidity and a fleshy, textured, salty style on the palate, it's a versatile rosé to drink over the coming 6-12 months." (04/2018) Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Produced from Sangiovese, the 2017 Vino Rosé reveals pretty aromas of strawberries and watermelon, followed by a juicy, medium-bodied palate with moderate alcohol and tangy acidity. It's a mo...Read More »

94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Much less tannic from bottle than from barrel, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Four Flags comes from four different vineyards on Red Mountain: Grand Ciel (42%), Upchurch (31%), Ciel du Cheval (19%) and Klipsun (8%). It shows the vintage's more forward, charming style with its full-bodied, rich, textured style, yet it firms up considerably on the finish. Possessing lots of graphite, toasted spice, currants and black raspberry aromatics, I love its purity and balance. It's best today with a decant, but it should be in ...Read More »

Spring is the season of Renewal and Invention, and that's cool with Fremont, so we decided to offer not one, but three different beers for our Spring Seasonal this year. The January beer is Stone Squirrel, a Coffee Porter. Snuggle up to the Stone Squirrel, and enjoy the gentle embrace of rich chocolate, coffee, and roasted toffee flavors. Stone Squirrel is brewed with locally roasted, cold- brewed coffee, and chocolate and roast malts on top of a base of pale malt and Yakima Valley hops.

95 points Jeb Dunnuck: "All from the Sundance Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope, the 2015 Syrah The Deal (100% Syrah, not destemmed and aged in 30% new puncheons) offers smoking notes of red and black fruits, black olive, smoked earth and a huge meatiness. Full-bodied, silky and seamless, with a rock, mineral, backward style." (04/2018) 93 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The most reticent and reserved of these Syrah bottlings, the 2015 Syrah The Deal Sundance Vineyard opens in the glass with notes of sweet red berries, potpourri and tapenade. On the...Read More »

99 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "I think the wine of the vintage, the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon from the Columbia Valley is flat out sensational, and flirts with perfection. Its inky ruby/purple color is followed by incredible notes of cassis, black currants, smoked herbs, licorice and graphite. These give way to a full-bodied, utterly seamless Cabernet that has full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannin and a killer finish. While it possesses the elegance and purity of the vintage, it has a stacked mid-palate, and deserves 4-5 years of cellaring. It...Read More »

Stocked your bar with craft-distilled vodka, and ready to move up the alphabet from bartender to mixologist? It may benefit you to consider adding a few Scrappy's bitters, which are inspired by nineteenth century recipes. As featured in Imbibe Magazine: "...bartender Miles Thomas has been making Scrappy's Bitters since 2008. Thomas now sells styles ranging from a classic orange to lavender, chocolate and cardamom. While his emphasis is on bitters that feature a single flavor, each style requires the use of multiple ingredients such as grains of paradise,...Read More »

The new Garryana from Westland is a return a style more resembling the first release. The complex blend of multiple barley and barrel types has become the quintessential limited edition American single malt. Big bold brash and powerful, the intensity of the local Garryana oak is on full display here. This release is even smaller than the last with only 1638 bottles available worldwide. Both Westland's excellent blending and cask selection prowess are on display here as well as their unique distilling philosophy. They start with three types of malt: 5-mal...Read More »

98 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One of the wines of the vintage is the 2014 La Cote Patriarche, and it’s the finest vintage of this cuvee ever made. All from the Red Willow vineyard and some of the oldest Syrah vines in the state, this incredible Syrah yields a layered, awesomely pure bouquet of black and blue fruits, violets, herbes de Provence and graphite, with cool climate notes of olives and violets emerging with time in the glass. Big, rich, layered and more sexy and seamless than the Cote Rousse, it needs 3-4 years of cellaring and will ...Read More »
